This example contains triplets in the rhythm how many beats do the notes of one triplet equal

1 answer

In music, a triplet divides a beat into three equal parts. Therefore, the notes of one triplet typically equal one beat in total. For example, if you're in 4/4 time, three notes in a triplet would take the same time as one quarter note (which is one beat). This means that each note in the triplet is played equally spaced within that single beat.
